NimbostratusIf I use SNAT automap with HA devices, so Floating IP address will connect with backend servers .. can I know the MAC address of Floating IP address ?
The same if I use SNAT automap with standalone device, the Self IP will connect with backend servers, can i know mac address of self IP address ?
NoctilucentPlease Capture the packet on HA pair & standalone device with tcpdump & find the MAC address. Hope it will work for you. Paste the question you have any.
NimbostratusIf you have mac-masquerade configured, it will use the mac assigned to the floating self-IP's traffic group: tmsh list cm traffic-group traffic-group-1 mac
Otherwise, it should take on the mac-address associated with its vlan:
tmsh show net self (name of floating-ip)
If neither of those work for you, go to a device in the same subnet as the floating self-IP (such as the standby F5 if you have an HA pair), ping the floating IP, and look at your ARP table. F5 commands for those tasks:
tmsh run util ping (floating-ip)
tmsh show net arp | grep (floating-ip)
